Marathons & Roller Coasters Books and the City

Hi! Happy Monday! Before we get into the books today, we’re doing a fun little recap of our recent pod trip to Chicago for the 2021 Chicago Marathon. Woo, running! Then, we’ve got some literary fiction about motherhood and millenial connection, plus a witchy rom com and a short but sweet Sleeping Beauty retelling. Don’t forget about book club, if you’re in our fan club! We’re meeting to discuss Beautiful World, Where Are You? via Zoom on Wednesday, October 27 :) thank you, as always, for giving our podcast a listen.
